🚨 Happening @ 10:05 AM! State Director @AdamThompsonAL joins @Yaffee to discuss AFP Foundation's new report: Permission to Care - Certificate of Need Laws Stifle Innovation and Reduce Access to Care in Alabama. 📻 Listen live: https://t.co/ojqg26fX4a
A new report released by Americans for Prosperity Foundation – Alabama reveals how the state’s Certificate of Need (CON) laws are having a negative impact on healthcare systems in the Yellowhammer State.
The report argues that CON regulations raise health care costs for Alabamians, while also decreasing the quality of care they receive.
“This new report underscores the vital importance of repealing Alabama’s Certificate of Need laws,” AFPF-AL State Director, Adam Thompson said. “These costly regulations reduce competition in Alabama’s medical system, lower the quality-of-care patients receive, and stifle innovation and investment in Alabama’s health care system.”

Since 2012, North Carolina’s Certificate of Need laws have blocked more than $4 billion in potential health care investment.
That’s $4 billion that could have expanded access, reduced wait times, and improved care—denied by outdated regulations that limit competition and innovation.

Imagine living in a world where your competitor can stop you from growing & investing to meet the health care needs of a community because *they* don't think there is a need. That's the reality in Alabama right now. We must abolish the Certificate of Need (CON) law. #alpolitics
Could you think of better ways for a city to spend $1 million? My colleague @SofieHamilton and I look at a recent example of how Alabama’s CON law wastes taxpayer money while holding much-needed health care investment hostage. #alpolitics@AFPhq https://t.co/XpLR0mKttE
Another day, another example of how Alabama's Certificate of Need (CON) law stifles critical health care investments. Your competitors (one of which is so badly mismanaged it's on the verge of bankruptcy) should not be able to stop expanding access to health care. #alpolitics
Who even uses CD's anymore? That’s what AFPF's @tkimbrell133 got in response to his FOIA request: a 56KB spreadsheet that could’ve been emailed. Outdated tech and inefficiency make transparency in government a joke. #FOIAFail
